Nice sit down pizza restaurant in a shopping mall. The pizzas are reasonably good and they have soups, salads and sandwiches as well. They do have dome 7 inch pizzas at lunch which is nice. I liked the sausage, mushroom and pepperoni personal pizza, but it wasn't a great pizza like the peking duck pizza they had many years ago. The tomato basil bisque it came with was very good. Service was a mixed experience. There was a long wait to get seated and to get the check because only a couple of servers were working and they were also bussing tables, seating people and manning the take out desk. They were friendly and efficient when they got to you though. The place was fairly busy at lunchtime. The space was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Parking is available in the paid mall garage.

This pizzeria is really good! They have a few pizza options, but they are all very tasty and high quality. The prices are reasonable for the location. The atmosphere is pleasant, with good music and nice drink options. I tried the burrata pizza, which I had never heard of before, and it was a great choice for those who don't want meat. I liked it. The service was good too. A nice touch is that they grate cheese on top of the pizza at the table, just like they do with pasta in Italy. Overall, it's worth checking out! I went back another day and tried their burger, and it was one of the best I've had in Denver. I'm not sure what makes it different, but I think the meat is grilled. It was very flavorful. Make sure to ask for their ranch sauce, it's really good. Prices: 👍 Quality: 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 Ambiance: 🎶😊 Drinks: 🍹🍷 Service: 👍👍 Would recommend!

For a pizza place, their pies are over-priced and uninspired. $20 for a personal pizza where the essential elements of sauce and cheese seems to have been forgotten. It’s over-loaded with the other ingredients, which should be part of the dish, but not all. When that happens, the essential flavors are gone. That said, the staff were responsive and caring and made me feel welcome, especially the female bartender. For a solo diner, that’s important. Especially when there are lots of better pizza places around town.

Great pizza place that’s worth the price! Decided to get some dinner here. It was great! Staff were friendly at take-out counter (since we did takeout) , plenty of seating, and delicious food! The pizza and salad we got was delicious. I also dined in here before and it was a good experience as well. The food is also not that cheap as well but it was delicious though. There is also parking available if you want to do valet and some street parking that’s like a 3 minute walk from here. Overall, great pizza place. Will be back and highly recommend this pizza place!
